I have been at the hospital all day today. We finally have some news. Some of it quite scary news. Well, we now know that she has a kidney stone stuck in her urinary tract (1cm big!). As it was stuck it was preventing urine moving freely from her kidneys to her bladder etc and as a result her kidney became inflamed and infected. Unbenown to us (they only found out her condition today!) she has been critical since Friday. She had actually gone into septic shock and there were the beginings of blood poisoning showing in her samples. The consultants all thought it was her gall bladder but infact it was much more serious than that. I knew she looked ill and I knew it was bad by the way she looked. The consultants told her that she is a very lucky lady! I feel sick to my stomach tonight thinking what if???? Thank god for antibiotics and IV fluids!
Anyway, she is no longer in critical condition and she is going down for her operation tomorrow morning. They are not going to go direct into her kidney to retrieve it as first planned due to the huge risk of passing the infection to other organs, so they are going via her uretha and trying to flush it through. I just want her out of theatre so that I can relax. What a week!
She is not out of the woods yet so please keep your fingers crossed. I just want her home now

Thanks everyone. You are all so sweet.
The operation went well. It's now hopefully a matter of time until she comes home. Hopefully in the next day or so. She seems to be stronger (moaning again which has to be good!) and she is in good spirits so all should be well. The doctor will be round tomorrow morning so we will know more then.
Exercise front is poor Just not motivated So tired...... I am sticking to my points though. Can see a STS this week for some reason. Maybe I will pick up later in the week.
Thanks again for all your thoughts xx
